@Qvm July 5, 1932. H. s. wYNNE ADVERTISING EGG TESTER 2 Sheets-Sheet l2Filed Feb. 27, 1931 -mrr ATTORNEY Patented July 5, 1932 UNITED STATESHOKE SMITH WYNNE, OF EAST'MAN, GEORGIA ADVERTISING EGG TESTERApplication filed February 27, 1931. Serial No. 518,855.

This invention relates to a combined advertising device and egg tester,the general object of the invention being to provide a casing containinga lamp and having av cover part containing an opening so that an egg canbe placed over the opening and be tested in the usual manner, the casingalso having a sloping part having its top open and provided with meansfor holding a transparent member over the opening so that the rays oflight from the lamp will pass through the transparent member andilluminate advertising matter or the like on said member.

This invention also consists in certain other l5 features ofconstruction and in the combination and arrangement of the severalparts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in theaccompanying drawings and specificall-y pointed out in the appendedclaim. y

In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to theaccompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like orcorresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure lis a top plan view of the device.

Figure 2 is a section on line 2 2 of Figure l.

Figure 3 is a front view of the device.

Figure 4 is a transverse sectional view 30 through the egg tester, cuton the line 4 4 of Figure 2.

Figure 5 is a similar view, cut on the line 5 5 of Figure l.

In these views, the letter A indicates a casing which is formed with asubstantially rectangular rear part and a substantially triangular frontpart, the front part having its top sloping from the front end of therectangular part to the front end of the bottom of the casing. A cover 1is bolted or otherwise detachably connected to flanges 2 which extendinwardly from the upper edges of the rectangular part and this covermember has an opening 3 therein having rounded walls and adapted toreceive an egg so that eggs can be tested through means of the rays oflight passing therethrough from the lamp 4 in the rectangular part ofthe casing. A.

transparent member 5 covers the sloping part of the front of the casingand contains advertising matter.

Mirrors or reflecting members 6 are placed on the bottom and rear partof the casing for reflecting the rays of light from the lamp through thetransparent member 5, the mirror at the rear of the part beingdiagonally arranged and being held in place by a clip 7 formed bycutting the rear flange 2 and bent downwardly into engagement with theupper end of the mirror. Thus when this device is placed on a counter orthe like and a poultryman brings his eggs to a store or the like, theeggs are placed at the opening 3 while being tested and thus as thepoultryman watches the testing of his eggs, he will observe theadvertising matter on the transparent member. Of course, other personswill see this advertising matter so that the article or matteradvertised thereon will be brought to the attention of the observers.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages andnovel features of the invention will be readily apparent.

It is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction andin the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided thatsuch changes fall within the scope of the appended claim.

What I claim is A device of the class described comprising a casinghaving its rear part of substantially rectangular shape and its forwardpart provided with a downwardly and forwardly sloping top part, the topof the rectangular part having an opening, a transparent membercontaining advertising matter covering said sloping part, a lamp in thecasing and reflecting members in the casing for reflecting the rays oflight from the lamp through the opening and through the transparentmember.

In testimony whereof I aiix my signature.

HOKE SMITH WYNNE.
